Mechanical toys are the best(programmed toys are not fun), Having friends gifting these things is a blessing (I am feeling jealous of your childhood)

As a young child I was fascinated by the world around me and mostly in electronic and mechanical devices. My family and neighbors would gift me with broken devices (clocks, toasters, just about anything) which I would take apart and closely examine each piece. In a couple of these treasures, I found some motors, lights and batteries that I would experiment with.

I remember doing this in class. I tried to show off by using a 12V DC charger instead of a battery and held the coil with my bare hands (no gloves). It heated up way faster than expected… and I ended up burning my hands.

I know a senior executive who always says that burning things is actually a good thing, it’s part of the learning process.
As long as it happens in a controlled environment and you learn something from it!

I remember trying to increase the magnetism with a 6 V lantern battery. When the wires started smoking, the teacher took everything away and we never did anything electrical again.

Ah yes, and it was probably just small part of a larger unit on the introduction to magnets themselves... at least that's how I remember it.
